Hey. I have to apologize for the sever grammar and spelling errors in this
fic. I plan on fixing them once the fic is over. The same thing goes with
me accidentally slippin from third to first person. I don't mean to.
PROMISE! This fic is sadly almost over, so before I let you read it I have
to advertise "Good or Bad" I've finished writing it, but not posting it. If
I can get some more readers I'll continue it. It' really good, and it's RK.
So, go check it out please. It's better than this fic in my opinion. Plus
there are not as many errors in it. hehe. It's drama/Romance, and even a
little bit of action. Anyway, go ahead and read, k?

Part 18- The end of Sean
"You ok?" Andrew asked pulling Yui closer, he leaned close like he was going to kiss her forehead, but drew back shyly. His being too shy to do anything was beginning to annoy her. She'd been dating him for a week, and all the crap that had been happening in her life was subsiding. Life felt fairly normal now.
"Why wouldn't I be?" Yui asked squeezing her eyes shut. She was trying to stop feeling repulsed by him. It had only been a week, but she had slowly started to hate his closeness. He was always hovering around her, always careful around her, like she'd break any moment. She wanted to tell him to stop, but he'd probably apologize profusely and beg her for forgiveness. She'd have preferred if he would get angry, but she knew that would not happen. The challenge to get her was over, so Andrew no longer had that cockiness in his personality, the odd little comments were gone now since he'd become comfortable around her. Yui didn't want to be bored with him, but she couldn't help it. After preaching to Miaka about wanting to be happy and all, she was miserable due to the man she claimed made her happy. She felt like a spoilt child that got tired with one toy, and wanted a new one only after a week.
"Because you're acting odd. Where's that fire you usually have? Is it because it's a Monday? I know you hate Monday's." He said, this time he did kiss her forehead. He immediately blushed. Once upon a time she would have found his blushing cute. He knew she hated Mondays. God, she felt like they were one of those old couples whom knew everything about each other, but they shouldn't sound like that. They'd just started dating. Yui wanted to sigh in defeat. She had to face it, she'd never be happy.
"Yeah, it's a Monday thing, partially." Yui drew away from him, and lavished attention on the smoothie in front of her. The new toy she wanted had made it (A/N: new toy as in Sean, get it? If you don't understand re- read the passage about her being a spoilt child). The cool liquid slid down her throat, and it helped to calm her. Yui felt so tense sitting in Zoom, being all snuggly with Andrew, while Sean went about making other smoothies, careful not to glance in Yui's direction. He seemed to have a cool neutral mask on his face, and it hurt Yui to see him look so... numb. She knew it was her fault. He assumed she still loved the guy she had been dreaming of, and had dumped her, but seeing her with Andrew now, she knew he must think she was dreaming of Andrew, when the dream was actually of Tetsuya.
"Ok, so it's partially Monday, but what's the rest of it?" YOU! Yui mentally yelled at him. "Is it Miaka? I saw how strained things are with you two."
"Things are fine between us." Yui said, and it was true. Her and Miaka were fine. They were close again. Not as close as they used to be, but closer than they were before. In fact they were going to have another movie night tonight. Yui had invited Andrew, and Andrew invited Sean, not noticing how tense Yui and Sean had been acting towards each other.
"Well, the movie tonight will make you feel better. It's 4, and we have to be at Miaka's house at 4:30?"
"Yeah. We usually do this on Friday, but Miaka is going out on Friday with Tamahome to a circus coming to town. She's really excited about it. She's never been to the circus before. She figured since I hate Monday's we'd have it today so the movie will make me feel better about this horrible day."
"Do you want to go to the circus too? I can take you."
"Miaka and Tamahome already invited me, but I'd prefer not to."
"Ok," Andrew smiled at Yui, and Yui gave him a forced smile, but he didn't seem to notice the lack of sincerity.
"Hey, I got someone to cover my shift." Sean said walking over to us. He looked spectacular in a blue long sleeve shirt, and jeans. It was normal clothing, but Yui loved it. She would have smiled if she didn't feel so nervous. What would everyone say when she showed up with Sean?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yui ringed Miaka's doorbell, and waited for her to answer, she looked patient, but inside her heart fluttered nervously. How would Miaka react?
"Yui!" Miaka squealed, hugging Yui tightly.
"Air, Miaka. I need air." Yui joked.
"Haha," Miaka said dryly, but then turned her beaming face to Andrew and Sean. "Hi, Andrew!" She smiled.
"Hey Miaka, this is Sean, a friend of mine. I hope you don't mind that I invited him." Andrew said smiling back.
"Why not?!?! Come on in everybody." Yui was the only one to notice how Miaka's smile wilted a little bit. "No one's here yet, but you guys can hang out in there," Miaka said pointing to the entertainment room, "I need to talk to Yui, and make some popcorn." The guys went into the room, and Miaka dragged Yui off to the kitchen. "What's HE doing here?"
"Andrew asked him to come, and before I could say no, Sean said yes. I'm so sorry, I know everyone won't be very happy with him being here."
"What are we going to do? You know Tamahome will go berserk!"
"I know I know! We can't do anything about it now. Just warn them before they go in the room, ok?" With that the doorbell rang, and Yui jumped at the sound. They were here. Miaka walked off to answer the door, and there were all three of the guys, Tetsuya, Keisuke, and Tamahome, but beside Tetsuya was a girl. She was short, but still really pretty. Her black hair had a bluish tint to it, and it fell along her back, almost half her height. She had the most beautiful aqua colored eyes, the same color as Vash's actually. It was stunning. Yui stared at where Tetsuya's arm curled around the small figure. Yui suppressed the need to hurt the petite woman, and instead stalked off to the entertainment room. In five minutes the whole gang came into the room, and the room seemed too small.
"Sean and Andrew, this is Tamahome," Miaka leaned into him a bit, "Keisuke, my brother, and Tetsuya and Maki, his girlfriend." His girlfriend... Yui fought tears with all her might. She wasn't with Tetsuya, she didn't love him, so why was she hurting. The group stood in silence for a while, but the silence felt like a hand trying to smother Yui, so she tried to fill in the gap with conversation. "Miaka, we forgot the popcorn." Yui laughed, but the laugh didn't fool everyone. Everyone but Miaka and Sean visibly relaxed at the comment. "I guess I should go make some."
"I'll help." Keisuke volunteered.
"Oh no! You're about as bad as Miaka. I actually want to have some of the popcorn this time." Yui scolded.
"I'd never eat all the popcorn!" Keisuke said with an innocent puppyish look.
"Suuuure." Tamahome laughed.
"I'll help." Sean said, and moved to join Yui, who was moving out of the room.
"Me too!" Andrew chimed in.
"It's only popcorn, we don't need everyone making it. Somebody's got to pick out a movie, since Yui's going to make the popcorn." Miaka reasoned. Yui shrugged at Andrew, so he stayed behind as her and Sean made their way to the kitchen.
"Can you get a bowl? It's in the lower cabinet to the right." Yui instructed. She knew Miaka's house like her own.
"Here." Sean said passing Yui the bowl, "I'm sorry."
"For what?" Yui asked caught off guard.
"For making you feel uncomfortable around me. I also didn't mean to intrude on your movie thing, but I knew I wouldn't be able to talk to you without cornering you. I apologize."
"Don't apologize. It's cool." Yui said giving a weak smile.
"No it's not. I can see that you feel uncomfortable being close with me." He smiled sadly.
"I don't want to be." Yui said and stared at the popcorn bag that was ballooning up in the microwave.
"Besides apologize, I also came to ask you something."
"What?"
"When we kissed a couple weeks back... Did you... Did you see something?" His voice was quiet.
"Yes." Yui said just as quietly.
"I've never seen the flashes while awake. Flashes of a past life plague my dreams, but never before had I seen the visions while awake. The thing is, is that it isn't even my past life."
"I don't get what your saying. If it's not your past life...then who?"
"My grandfathers. His name was Suboshi. He used to tell me stories of these twin boys, and they're amazing abilities. He would go into detail about this one girl in one of his stories. A girl named Yui. When Andrew introduced me to you I found it really amusing that you held the same name, and also that you looked like his description. But, ever since the day I met you I've been getting these dreams. It's absolutely crazy. I had to get to know you, to understand, but... then I found out that you loved someone else, and..."
"I don't love anyone else. You assume too much Sean. I wanted to be with you."
"You want to be with that Tetsuya guy. I thought the one you loved was Andrew, but a minute ago, the look on your face when Tetsuya stood there with that girl, that moment I realized it was him you loved."
"Sean. I don't want to love him." Yui said, staring at the floor; holding her arms around her. The popcorn was long since done; long since forgotten.
"You can't help who you love. I know that because I can't help but love you." Sean stepped close to Yui, and tilted her head to him, "It's a shame that we can't be together." He mumbled. He brought his head down, and brushed a kiss onto her lips, but then leaned over her more to give Yui a true kiss, a deep kiss. A flash of him telling her "Wo Ai Ni." passed before her eyes, and then it all ended. Sean pulled away from the kiss, and cupped her cheek in his hand. A tear fell slowly from one of Yui's eyes. "Don't cry. You're much too beautiful to cry. I'm sorry that our love can't be, my angel." Sean kissed her nose lightly, and wiped the tear away. He gave her a halfhearted smile and said, "I have to go. Goodbye Yui-chan." With that, he turned and left. Yui fought her tears fiercely, and surprisingly didn't cry. Oh, but she wanted to. She wanted to curl into a ball, and rock herself over and over. She wouldn't be surprised if she didn't see him at Zoom ever again.
